How this force of the same magnitude and direction should be applied that the box only slides or only topples?

Transcribed Image Text:The diagram shows a rectangular block with a height of 100 cm and a width of 60 cm. The rectangle is oriented vertically.
- **Center Point:** There is a point at the center of the rectangle where two diagonals intersect.
- **Forces:**
- **F:** An arrow labeled "F" points horizontally from the left towards the center point of the rectangle.
- **Mg:** An arrow labeled "Mg" points vertically downwards from the center point of the rectangle.
- **Dimensions:**
- The horizontal width of the rectangle is labeled as 60 cm.
- The vertical height is labeled as 100 cm.
This image likely represents a physics problem involving forces acting on a rectangular object. The force "F" could represent an applied force, and "Mg" likely represents the gravitational force (weight) acting downward due to mass "M."
